Blurred backgroundKeep the whole widescreen frame, with a soft blur filling the rest of the vertical screen.

FAQ

Is my video uploaded?

No. The video is processed inside your browser on your own device and never sent anywhere — so it’s fast to start and safe for private clips.

How do I turn a Twitch stream into YouTube Shorts?

Download your VOD or clip from your own Twitch dashboard, drop it in here, choose “Facecam on top”, frame the boxes, trim to under a minute and export. Upload the MP4 as a Short or a TikTok.

How long can a Short be?

YouTube Shorts can be up to 3 minutes and TikToks longer, but 15–45 seconds of the best moment usually performs best.

Can I use footage from other streamers or games?

You’re responsible for the footage you use: your own recordings are fine, and many games allow gameplay videos, but other people’s streams or videos need their permission.

My recording is huge — will it work?

Yes. Only the part you trim is processed, so long VODs are fine, though a computer is faster than a phone.

Is there a watermark?

Only a small optional “Made with” badge. Untick it and your Short has no badge at all.

Which browser works best?

Chrome or Edge on a computer are fastest, because they use your graphics card to encode video. Safari works for most files; phones work for shorter clips.

Is it free?

Yes — free, no sign-up and no watermark. The site is supported by the ads on the page.
